Comment by Dave Taylor on June 12, 2014 at 23:24: Nowt like a bit of a run out in the Sun, well it was sunny when we set off. A run out is never short of adventure though. We set off in good time for a run out to Hoghton, and a meal at the Boat Yard Pub. Usual meeting point in Belmont, when I got a text from Steve Heap to say his accelerator cable had snapped on the way to Belmont. So after finding him with bonnet up, we all set to, to get him sorted. With help of a 16 amp cable connector Stripped of insulation and a length of Lighting cable. It was enough to get Steve's S1 working again and he was able to limp home with just a enough throttle to get him there.

After that we set off again this time with Steve in his tin top. My Phaeton and the Westfield run well. Meal eaten and back to the cars, went to turn round in the car park and no N/S headlamp, (Bad connection, sorted) and then no N/S rear side lamp (Bulb this time). I'll need to check all these connection before next run out.

40 miles round trip. Big Daft Grin, Priceless.
